In our last article what talked about the new adidas campaign #ThereWillBeHaters and the provocative clip in which Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez, Karim Benzema and Luis Suarez face honors and burdens of being talented and successful on and off the pitch. Today we would like to take a closer look to the shoes, available since February the 2nd in stores.

The new adizero f50has been redesigned aiming to a better touch control and higher speed. This is the purpose of the new 3D-layer called “dribbletex”, which augments the sensitivity and the ball control in any climatic condition. Also the sole has been revisited: taking inspiration from track field cleated shoes, the front half offer now better traction thanks also to a new scheme for the spikes. Esthetically the f50 is also quite different from previous models: the three stripes, now on the heel, and the new “ghost” graphic, with glossy red, give them a whole new look.

After celebrating their 20° anniversary in 2014, also the Predators get a major makeover: ultrasoft, state-of-the-art upper designed to get the best out of the leather and the synthetic material, 3D rubber inserts and a gel-cushion unit to improve the grip on the ball and passing precision, and a new “control frame” structure to provide optimal ball control. To complete the high-tech picture, adidas gave the Predators an innovative transparent sole.

For this shoe the improvement concerns the newly-positioned EnergySling band and the bigger protective mesh area, which both give to the athlete a noticeably higher stability. It’s not by chance that the Nitrocharge is most used among midfielders and other players who count on constant movement for their game.

The 11Pro can be considered adidas’s dinner suit, a shoe which oozes class and elegance and promises utmost comfort, features upgraded in this new version proposed by the German brand. New heel and front-foot structure to enhance fitting and stability; new sole which better distributed the weight on the whole foot plant and new, smaller spikes for a better grip on the terrain. Not to forget the leather upper, a classy touch which also improves comfort.
